Title: BF3 video card specs
Post by: MrX on 27/10/2011, 07:56 AM
Hello All,

My Nvidia GTX 275 just can't hack BF3 and I need to know what the cheapest card that will play BF3 on high settings that will do. The rest of my pc is fine it's just the video card. My BF3 order has been shipped and I can't play it except on low settings :-(


Cheers
X

The card reccomended to play it is a gtx 560 which will play it on ultra if you wanna look at one of those through either bohica or http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1193&products_id=16868

I'm running a GTX570 and the graphics in BF3 when I have it on auto it puts everything on high with textures on ultra.

what the?
i have 2 gtx 460's in SLI (until I realised last night it wasn't and turned it on). with one card doing all the work i was getting 30 to 50 frames but now in SLI i was averaging at least 75 frames, the max i saw was 120

I am getting between 35-40fps with settings on medium indoors but outside that drops a little - which is expected. I suppose that's because I'm playing at 1080p with 768mb of vram :o

Avg about 80-120 on ultra with gtx590 - it's worth it :D

I too have a gtx 460 and I run it on high settings, although it occasionally crashes but the 460 runs like a champ. I don't know exact fps but I know I enjoy it (although due to my unreliable net I only play on less populated servers)

Nice :) if anyone ever wants to know their FPS just pop up the console (`) and type Render.DrawFps true
